President Donald Trump urged Republicans to assume control over voting in numerous states during a Monday episode of “The Dan Bongino Show.”
Trump argued on the show that Democrats imported illegal immigrants to obtain their votes. He criticized Republicans for not confronting the alleged issue and advised them to “nationalize the voting” in states he called “crooked,” claiming he won in states that were recorded as losses for him.

“These people were brought to our country to vote and they vote illegally. And [it’s] amazing that the Republicans aren’t tougher on it,” Trump said. “The Republicans should say, ‘We want to take over, we should take over the voting in at least many, 15 places.’ The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that are so crooked and they’re counting votes. We have states that I won that show I didn’t win.”
“Now you’re going to see something in Georgia where they were able to get with a court order the ballots, you’re going to see some interesting things come out,” he continued. “But you know, like the 2020 election, I won that election by so much. Everybody knows it.”
The FBI executed a warrant in a Fulton County, Georgia, election office in a search linked to the 2020 election on Wednesday , Reuters reported.
“The FBI is conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity,” the FBI’s national press office told the Daily Caller on Wednesday. “No other information is available at this time.”
The FBI’s Atlanta field office also confirmed to the Caller on Wednesday that it was conducting an authorized law enforcement action at the facility.
“FBI Atlanta is executing a court authorized law enforcement action at 5600 Campleton Fairburn Rd,” it said. “Our investigation into this matter is ongoing so there are no details that we can provide at the moment.”
The search followed Fulton County’s acknowledgment in December that about 315,000 early-voting ballots in the 2020 presidential election lacked required poll-worker signatures on tabulation tapes, according to The Federalist.
Moreover, Republicans have pushed the Senate to take up the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which requires proof of citizenship in order to vote in federal elections. The bill — which Trump endorsed — passed in April, but has since stalled in the Senate.
